The hardest part will be deciding which one to do. To help you figure it out, we came up with a list of 10 Father’s Day getaways you will need to do this June.

Eagle Nest Fishing Lodge

Eagles Nest Fishing Lodge is the ultimate natural playground that your father needs to go to. Let him feel like a kid again this Father’s Day with a weekend staying out at the Winnipeg River. The main lodge dates back to 1950 when it was used a residential house. Fred and Jo-Anne Pedruchny bought it in 1975, and in 1978, the construction of Eagle Nest Lodge began.

A typical day at the lodge starts at 7 am with coffee delivered right to your door. The staff serves a hearty Canadian breakfast before heading out on the water for the first fishing session. Lunchtime is spent on the shores of one of their most scenic spots, dining on your freshly caught fish. You then head back out for more fishing, what more does dad need? Eagle Nest Fishing Lodge

Moon Gate Guest House

Moon Gate Guest House is a peaceful retreat that your dad won’t realize he needed. It will take you away from the city without having to drive for too long.

Take your dad on a unique retreat that not only gets you out in the wilderness, but you may also learn a thing or two. The Moon Gate Guest House Culinary Adventure retreat is more than just canoeing on the Whitemouth River, although a three hour guided canoe trip is sure to be a highlight. This retreat will allow you to create and taste food from locally sourced ingredients with a Red Seal chef. Moon Gate Guest House

Lazy Bear Expeditions

Lazy Bear Expeditions is what you need for your northern Manitoba getaway with your dad. Part of the expedition is a stay at the Lazy Bear Lodge, located in Churchill.

This type of getaway is a bit different as it will be a bit pricey. But what you get in return is so worth it. Take your dad on a whale watching adventure on the Churchill River, flowing into the Hudson Bay. Or just hang out at the lodge for a nice, lazy getaway. Lazy Bear Expeditions
